1 Minute Creamy Yogurt and Cucumber salad – خيار بلبن

Tzatziki’s Arabic cousin is this tangy refreshing and absolutely fast salad that is widely used in the middle east, preparing it is faster than opening a jar of salad dressing 🙂

Try it and let me know, it can be served with rice dishes, meat or even as a dip if you dice the cucumbers a bit smaller.

1) 2 large cucumbers

2) Greek Yogurt “full fat”

3) 1 glove of garlic

4) Freshly squeezed lemon

5) Salt

6) Dried mint

I usually use full fat dairy products because when reading the nutrition label for reduced fat usually they add sugar to it to enhance the flavor, plus the fat will keep you fuller for longer.

I served this with my delicious Mujadara (A loved lentils and rice or Bulgur wheat dish topped with caramelized onions, except I reduced the carbohydrate count even more, recipe will be posted soon)
